 Free Download The Boys in the Boat: Nine Americans and Their Epic Quest for Gold at the 1936 Berlin Olympics By Daniel James Brown 2013 | 416 Pages | ISBN: 067002581X | EPUB | 14 MB For readers of Laura Hillenbrand's Seabiscuit and Unbroken, the dramatic story of the American rowing team that stunned the world at Hitler's 1936 Berlin Olympics Daniel James Brown's robust book tells the story of the University of Washington's 1936 eight-oar crew and their epic quest for an Olympic gold medal, a team that transformed the sport and grabbed the attention of millions of Americans. The sons of loggers, shipyard workers, and farmers, the boys defeated elite rivals first from eastern and British universities and finally the German crew rowing for Adolf Hitler in the Olympic games in Berlin, 1936. The emotional heart of the story lies with one rower, Joe Rantz, a teenager without family or prospects, who rows not for glory, but to regain his shattered self-regard and to find a place he can call home. The crew is assembled by an enigmatic coach and mentored by a visionary, eccentric British boat builder, but it is their trust in each other that makes them a victorious team. They remind the country of what can be done when everyone quite literally pulls together-a perfect melding of commitment, determination, and optimism. Drawing on the boys' own diaries and journals, their photos and memories of a once-in-a-lifetime shared dream, The Boys in the Boat is an irresistible story about beating the odds and finding hope in the most desperate of times-the improbable, intimate story of nine working-class boys from the American west who, in the depths of the Great Depression, showed the world what true grit really meant. It will appeal to readers of Erik Larson, Timothy Egan, James Bradley, and David Halberstam's The Amateurs.  Free Download Michael G. Cornelius, "The Boy Detectives: Essays on the Hardy Boys and Others" English | 2010 | pages: 221 | ISBN: 0786460334 | PDF | 1,0 mb Much has been written about the girl sleuth in fiction, a feminist figure embodying all the potential wit and drive of girlhood. Her male counterpart, however, has received much less critical attention despite his popularity in the wider culture. This collection of 11 essays examines the boy detective and his genre from a number of critical perspectives, addressing the issues of these young characters, heirs to the patriarchy yet still concerned with first crushes and soda shop romances. Series explored include the Hardy Boys, Tow Swift, the Three Investigators, Christopher Cool and Tim Murphy, as well as works by Astrid Lindgren, Mark Haddon and Joe Meno.  Free Download Nige Tassell, "The Bottom Corner: A Season with the Dreamers of Non-League Football" English | 2017 | pages: 304 | ISBN: 0224100602 | EPUB | 1,2 mb Everyone loves an FA Cup upset: a smug Premier League team being knocked out by plucky underdogs. In these days of oligarch owners, superstar managers and players on sky-high wages, the tide is turning against the big teams as fans search for football with a soul. Enter non-league football - the heartland of the beautiful game. Nige Tassell spends a season among the characters who inhabit this world. The raffle-ticket seller who wants her ashes scattered in the centre-circle. The envelope salesman who discovered a future England international. The ex-pros still playing with undiluted passion on Sunday mornings. One thing unites them: they are all dreamers. Tassell ventures all over the footballing map, from the giantkillers of Salford City to hungover cloggers on Hackney Marshes, interviewing obsessive groundhoppers, record-smashing goalscorers, dictatorial managers, ukulele-strumming fans and the captain of the Filipino national team. He makes extended stopovers with both new boys Tranmere Rovers, looking for a speedy return to the Football League, and the inhabitants of the 'bottom corner' Bishop Sutton, who are just trying to get eleven men on a pitch. Hope and ambition.Triumph and tragedy. Faith and despair. All human life is here in the win-or-sink drama of non-league football.  Free Download The Book of the Dead: Lives of the Justly Famous and the Undeservedly Obscure By John Mitchinson, John Lloyd 2010 | 448 Pages | ISBN: 0307716406 | EPUB | 3 MB The team behind the New York Times bestseller The Book of General Ignorance turns conventional biography on its head-and shakes out the good stuff.Following their Herculean-or is it Sisyphean?-efforts to save the living from ignorance, the two wittiest Johns in the English language turn their attention to the dead.As the authors themselves say, "The first thing that strikes you about the Dead is just how many of them there are." Helpfully, Lloyd and Mitchinson have employed a simple-but ruthless-criterion for inclusion: the dead person has to be interesting.Here, then, is a dictionary of the dead, an encyclopedia of the embalmed. Ludicrous in scope, whimsical in its arrangement, this wildly entertaining tome presents pithy and provocative biographies of the no-longer-living from the famous to the undeservedly and-until now-permanently obscure. Spades in hand, Lloyd and Mitchinson have dug up everything embarrassing, fascinating, and downright weird about their subjects' lives and added their own uniquely irreverent observations.Organized by capricious categories-such as dead people who died virgins, who kept pet monkeys, who lost limbs, whose corpses refused to stay put-the dearly departed, from the inventor of the stove to a cross-dressing, bear-baiting female gangster finally receive the epitaphs they truly deserve.Discover:* Why Freud had a lifelong fear of trains* The one thing that really made Isaac Newton laugh* How Catherine the Great really died (no horse was involved)Much like the country doctor who cured smallpox (he's in here), Lloyd and Mitchinson have the perfect antidote for anyone out there dying of boredom. The Book of the Dead-like life itself-is hilarious, tragic, bizarre, and amazing. You may never pass a graveyard again without chuckling. |
